The fractions can be converted to percentages and vice versa. Let us consider that Rosy passed 5 out of 6 subjects while John passed 6 out of 8 subjects. So, can you determine who has the better pass percentage? For that, we need to calculate their pass percentage first. So, we need to convert the given fractions to percentages. We have two different methods for converting a fraction into a percent.
